摘要
We report a case of a 32-year-old woman presenting with scar endometriosis 2 years after a lower segment caesarean section. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, investigations and treatment of the condition are discussed. Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition; scar endometriosis is a rare subtype and usually arises after a surgical incision. The diagnosis should be considered for abdominal wall masses in women. Herein, we review the literature regarding the occurrence of endometriosis in surgical scars.
